We replaced out wall oven with a Jenn-Air in 2004. We weren't prepared to do major renovations for the oven space so had to buy the Jenn-Air as it was the only one available to fit the space. One dealer we spoke with once Jenn-Air was taken over by Whirlpool, they quit selling the brand. When we told him we were replacing our existing oven due to thermostat problems, he said we would have the same issue down the road with the Jenn-Air as the components are not made to withstand the heat of a self-cleaning oven.
I related this to the dealer we were purchasing our oven from and he said that was nonsense. I wanted to cancel the order and he really didn't want me to - so much so that the dealer paid for the 5 year extended warranty. Foolish us, we didn't extend the warranty after the 5 years. The thermostat started acting up within the month. We are now a year and a half down the road. My husband has retired and is doing more cooking - not very happy with the oven temp not working. We had used a professional thermometer in the old oven (it was 150 degrees out) and will have to do so again now.
Do you have any suggestions of an oven that is 30" wide to fit our existing space? In the early years of home ownership, I always wanted a Jenn-Air. Be careful of what you wish for.
